    Selling my Liquid Platinum with the stock tubes and a pair of NOS, A-Frame, Amperex 6DJ8 matched pair tubes. (To be specific, Amperex 6DJ8/ECC88, Holland, orange label, orange PQ shield logo, A-frame, silver shield, dimpled getter.) These are bassier and darker than the stock tubes.

    Works great, and is in great or even like-new condition.

    One of my favorite amps, actually. Incredibly polished in nearly every way and responds well to tubes. Can sound slightly bright, neutral, or warm depending on what you roll. Stock tubes are neutral, Amperexes warm.

    Drives about anything you throw at it rather well, whether that be Sennheisers or planars, even inefficient T50RP mods.

    Only selling because I need the money to help pay for my recent surgery.

    Friends/contributors only for now, unless you're very persuasive and have good seller history elsewhere to back yourself up. I absolutely will not ship outside of the USA. Alaska and Hawaii will cost extra to ship.

    I got the amp brand new at $700 and paid $65 for the Amperex tubes, plus shipping and tax costs on top of that.

    Asking $675 for everything. Includes shipping and PayPal fees.

    I'd be interested in the Amperex tubes if you're willing to sell those separately.
